I am from...

This is a poem I made in school as an assignment. It explains me a lot so I figured It'd be a great intro. This poem is a intro to a series I like to call (24/7 walking depression machine).

I am from cowboy hats and cowboy boots

Cardboard boxes and moving trucks

I am from drugs and evictions

Silents tears and bloodied nails

I am from cuts and confusion 

Dented walls and broken doors

I am from high pitched voices and red black outs

continuing on and looking toward the future

I am from CPS and missing siblings

Five brothers and one sister

I am from court cases and restraining orders

Trying my best and sometimes failing

I am from hope and praise 

I am from what is called strong but in my eyes weakness and denial... 

Author's Note

So this is my first on here so hopefully you don't judge it too harshly. I am learning as I write and I always appreciate feedback and tips. Thank you!!!

That's great Ashton. Poetry is very strong when you know it comes from very powerful experienced. It can be a mistake to try to tidy up and correct them too much.
All the best with your writing.
